Question about Materniti21 blood screen???

I'm a little confused right now...I had posted on here a few weeks ago that my daughter had a positive Quad screen at 16 weeks and then I had to go in the same week to have the Materniti21 blood work completed. My obgyn had referred me to see a specialist to discuss genetics and to do another ultrasound at the time of the initial positive Quad screen. Baby girl had a normal ultrasound at 16 weeks at regular OBGYN office and her Materni21 test came back negative. Well, I just got a call from the specialist's office and I told them that I wasn't sure if my regular obgyn was going to still send me out there on Friday or not due to everything coming back good. The nurse at specialist's office was very pushy and insisted that I still needed to travel over 3 hours to get a second opinion? I thought you only had to go see a specialist if more than more test- quad, materni21, ultrasound, etc came back positive? I go back to see my regular Obgyn today at 3pm so I am going to ask him what he wants to do but just confused as to why they see a need for me to come out there? This is our last child and have no plans on having another in the future plus we have no family history of any genetic issues on either side of our family? Is this common practice to back up results from maternit21 test?
